Berserk: Griffith's appearance

[SSJ2]

Why does he look so different currently in the manga?

New Griffith:

That's a big fucking change given aging or not.

 

[Uchiha]

Combination of art style change and becoming a demigod

Also while on the subject of Griffith, does he have the ability to use his Femto form at will now? I'm in the 280s for my reread and I haven't seen him do it yet.

I don't even know why you guys still keep up with this Manga after the recent Anime.

 

[Papasmurf]

Berserk never had an iota of substance after the Fantasia arc. It's something we check as a habit at this point

 

[SSJ2]

Yup. I only check it due to nostalgia, even though I only read it in 2015. I have some sort of hope that it can return to a decent level of quality again.

 

[Alex Boss]

I dropped this months ago.

Is there some good arc besides the Golden Age?

 

[Void]

I like it all minus the Sea God stuff.

 

[SSJ2]

I like everything aside from the trolls and the sea faggot.

It's less for the actual arcs and moreso due to individual elements staying strong throughout. Whilst each arc gets progressively worse as a whole, elements such as character development and world building still remain quite strong overall.

As for the OP, Tachi covered it for the most part. It'd also be since Miura stated he was somewhat influenced by Rose of Versailles iirc, with it's protagonist Oscar having a similar appearance to current Griffith. Most likely, if Miura's art had been the same high quality it now is from the start, Griffith would've looked like his current design from the beginning.

I mean, I know he's banned and all, but criticising the manga purely based on it's anime adaptation is ridiculous. It's like saying the Hunter X Hunter anime is shit due to the art of the manga.

Hmm... I haven't the anime (though I've heard people bashing it constantly for various reasons). I'm still following the series though and it really piques my interest, especially with the current chapters. I mean it's really curious to see how Casca will back to normal (... that is if she can).
Otherwise, it's a good series overall, though it's really sad and brutal.
